Quick question, today one of my characters was blapping a POCO, a character that used to be in an allied war target came up to my characters Talos in an Incurses, he exited the ship into his pod then changed into the war target corp, he then got back in the ship and tackled my Talos, with a fleet now coming in from a jump away.
My understanding is that this is not accepted by CCP, at least I had read that, it seems wrong to me. I don't care about the ship, but I want to know if anyone else has this experience.

Not allowed is to rejoin the involved corp again before the war ended, when you left it after the war started.
I think you misunderstood the question and then stated the obvious.
The character was not in the corp that I was at war with then parked a ship next to me and got out changed into the war dec corp and then pointed my characters ship. I had read that CCP take a dim view of this, but have not seen it detailed as an exploit.
Well it does negate using skill because up to that trick they had not got anywhere near me.
I am going to check a few things out on this as locking up a en empty ship does have an impact, but it could just prevent people scooping them.

Is that the question? Is corp change in space an exploit?
No the question was is it an exploit to do that to catch a WT? I had read that people had said it was but it is not detailed as such on the Eve website so my assumption is no. Someone said that CCP looks down on this, and reacts to it.

Yes I did to clarify because I need to know if they can do this legally in the game. But wanted to ask here in case others had knowledge as CCP take their time and I have renewed the dec lol...

There are other bugs/glitches that you may want to be aware of and which wardeccers gladly exploit: - local not updating correctly when a neutral that is docked in a station in the same system as you joins the wardeccer, undocks and warps right on top of you: you'll only notice that you're at war with him once he's on the same grid. local will still show him not being at war with you. I don't know if it happens every time but it certainly does happen. - corp hopping: you can't re-join the same corp for a week if it is a war once you left it. You can however join a different corp that is in the same alliance, making it possible to hop in and out of a war at will. With Corporation Management being an alpha skill, the number of times you can do this is basically endless. Wardec mechanics are a giant, bug riddled, mess.
Thank you, I was aware of the local not updating correctly, that was the case until that character left system, docking did not change it, but I had not thought about the second exploit, I will have to watch for that one. Appreciate the tips.
I went into this war dec with my eyes open with an objective knowing that I would get dog piled, My objectives have now been met, however P I R A T through using this little trick will regret it.

Thanks for the confirmation, will factor that in for my next war then.

Yes, CCP have no issue with it, so what was posted on reddit about CCP getting uptight when people do it is wrong, so is a valid tactic.
